Our client instructed us to pursue damages for a Cerebral Palsy claim against the NHS Trust. We managed all aspects of costs throughout the substantive claim, including effective cost management and successful recovery at Detailed Assessment upon conclusion.
This case was notably complex and ultimately resulted in a settlement exceeding £18m. We navigated two rounds of costs management and advocated for an application to depart from the approved budget at each stage in the High Court. By the end of the case, we prepared a bill approaching £2m in costs. When settlement discussions did not yield results, we conducted the Detailed Assessment, successfully recovering approximately 80% of the profit costs sought, along with significant assessment and advocacy costs.
Through our diligent efforts at every cost stage, we ensured that the claimant had a cost management order in place that adequately addressed the complexities of the case, ultimately achieving highly favourable costs recovery.
